Blogs : hi2u commented on hi2u 's blog Traditional Chinese Medicine – A Scientific Explanation

""Traditional Chinese Medicine" in the title CLEARLY implies the field of medicine, not a single plant." That's exactly right, so what's your point? The "single plant" in the article is just one TCM, as I already stated at least four times on this blog, but you seem to have problems keeping facts straight, or have ... Full Comment>>

"In the article you refer to one herb as "TCM"". No, I clearly said that the article describes how "one" TCM works. Other TCM works in other ways as I already described. Thus "A" scientific explanation of TCM. Basic grammar should tell you that there could be other explanations. Full Comment>>

Blogs : hi2u commented on hi2u 's blog Traditional Chinese Medicine – A Scientific Explanation

"It said that a certain herb has a certain effect, namely (lowers fever temperature) and goes on to explain why." Bingo! The article explains the science behind why an herb used in TCM is effective. Were you seriously expecting the article to discuss the effectiveness in terms of qi and yin? What part of "A ... Full Comment>>

Blogs : hi2u commented on hi2u 's blog Traditional Chinese Medicine – A Scientific Explanation

Now you're just spouting nonsense which has no relation to the topic at hand. In the article I linked, the effects of one TCM were proven in the lab. It makes no difference whether the people who take it believe in "magical food fairies" or not. The point is some TCM has health benefits that can be proven in the ... Full Comment>>

"Apologists for TCM use increasingly obscure definitions of what TCM does to EVADE the need for proof and evidence." Nothing in my blog post is an "obscure definition", and I already said I'm not a TCM apologist. "Using buzzwords like “expression of genes” may sound impressive (if you’re retarded) but you ...

Blogs : hi2u Posted a new blog Traditional Chinese Medicine – A Scientific Explanation

To start off, I am not a TCM apologist or user, and I have not studied it in any meaningful detail. But I know it gets trashed a lot by people on this site and by westerners in general. I’m only interested in a scientific defense of TCM, and so I’d like to share an interesting scientific defense that ...

Blogs : hi2u Posted a new blog KTV, my guilty pleasure

KTV. The saying goes you either love it or you hate it. I went through both. At first I didn’t see the appeal of it. People singing badly to bad songs, or Chinese songs, and I wasn’t much of a singer myself. I didn’t get the appeal of most Chinese music, and it was always too loud for my liking. ...

I have yet to be food poisoned so severely in my three years of being in China. The worst thing that happened to me was a stomachache and the runs for a few hours the next morning after dinner the night before. I credit my lack of stomach ailments to my years of conditioning eating dirty Mexican food prior to coming ... Full Comment>>
